Its most likely your expect/tcl set. A friend (and others) has had<br>
this problem a few times. He recently updated his ports and the set<br>
of tcl/expect that he got with that update has been working. pkginfo<br>
on that host gives me:<br>
<br>
expect-5.43.0_3 A sophisticated scripter based on tcl/tk<br>
tcl-8.3.5_8 Tool Command Language<br>
